About Pete The Sweep

Brighton’s Trusted Chimney Sweep

Chimney sweeping and woodburner installation runs in the family — my uncle, aunt, and cousins have all been in the trade for years, and I grew up following along and learning the ropes. It’s something I’ve been passionate about for a long time, and now I’m bringing that experience to homes across Brighton, Hove, and all surrounding areas.

We specialise in chimney sweeping, woodburner installation, and ensuring your fires are safe and efficient. We pride ourselves on being friendly, reliable, and thorough, treating every home as if it were our own.

With years of hands-on experience and a family tradition in the industry, you can trust us to keep your chimney and stove in top condition — safe, clean, and ready to use.
